The biggest mistake this season was casting Poison Ivy...She has literally brought the show down. This is the first year ever that all this negativity of the designers is turning me off from watching. Are these designers really that bad at their skill that they have to pick on the merits of the others to make them look good....

None of them are in the caliber of Seth Aaron, not even close, well maybe Mondo, but thats it.

Watching last night's episode, with Ivy creating so much negativity and drama was a HUGE turnoff, and I am sooo glad that Tim confronted her
and shut her up!! I wonder who tipped Tim off about the so-called "cheating"? I think Michael C. handled himself well, considering how Ivy blindsided him with the allegations of cheating in the workroom.

I agree with what everyone is saying about her. I can't believe how bitter she was and how she made what could have been a fun experience (them all getting together again) into a bummer. It was bad enough that they had to make those drab and ugly clothes! The last thing they needed was her bitchiness!

She seems to be a bitter & hateful person. Even if she was an awesome designer I wouldn't buy anything of hers.

I think Ivy is a really disturbed person. I found her demeanor really creepy when she was accusing Michael. She seemed gleeful and took such delight in doing it.

Ivy has never moved beyond the middle school mentality . . . . the kind who would be nice to the poor/unattractive/handicapped/unpopular kid just to share a private moment and then broadcast the unfortunate ones secret to the entire cafeteria.

She takes great delight in humiliating anyone she deems to be beneath her. She is condescending, manipulative and petty.

I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks so. I mean everything she did was just disturbing, from the initial accusation long after the incident, to running around the workroom bragging about it. "I took one for the team!" while the team looked like they couldn't care less. That was just creepy.

In fact, as was pointed out in the other thread, it was remarkable how almost nobody joined Hivy this time. Even her old Queen Bee pal Wretchen said (at least in private) that she disagreed with Hivy's behavior. That's what made the latter's behavior even more disgusting, bizarre, and creepy.

Keep dreaming Hivy...I'm sure those A-list celebrities are beating a path to your door as we speak wanting you to design for them. :roller

I wish the show would refrain from casting poisonous personalities-whether they are top notch talents or not. Who was the tattooed guy from a few seasons back who just went after one of the designers (and her mother for heaven's sake) relentlessly? I stopped watching for several seasons because of that. I wish there was a rule in which your behavior and professionalism factored into the overall results of each show. You know, maybe you make this fabulous frock but your behavior is unprofessional- well, despite having the best creation you get demerits or even tossed off the show because of your lack of professionalism in the workroom. I just don't understand why it's okay to be an a## just because you have talent to burn.

I wish I could remember his name, too. Like you, I stopped watching PR that season and almost didn't come back when I found he actually won. :pissedoff At least he was just one contestant, though. This season has just been horrible since multiple contestants have been nasty. It's totally ruined the show.

I was so soured on the show at that point, especially because he won! :wallbang
Do you think trainwreck shows like jersey Shore, in which abhorent behavior is the whole point of watching, is affecting other shows? Like you said, it used to be there was The VILLAIN on shows like PR and TC, now, there's multiple rotten contestants. It just makes for a distracting experience for the viewer. Yes, I get that we all have the occassional stress induced melt down, but there's a big difference between that and being a cruel, mean spirited bully.
